@NFDI #NFDI3questions3hours
How about to make this discussion a presentation at the #NFDI #Science #Slam organised by #NFDI4DS?

You are very welcome.

@nuest Thanks for your nice feedback and contributions, and HT to @NFDI who organized this second edition of #NFDI3questions3hours. Of course we follow @nfdi4earth 😊 ^kb

@NFDI @nathalie_hartl

Every consortium in the #NFDI probably has its own perspective and challenges in answering this question. And the other questions, too.

That is why we talk with each other!

#CCBYUS

Join the CC-BY-US initiative at #CoRDI in Poster Session II ( Sep, 9:00-10:30 h) and visit our poster "Because Data Shall Grow (and we with it)".

Thank you for an exciting topic!

We are trying to tackle the questions put forward today in @nfdi4earth with a

I say that is not just an incentive, but a strong policy - and a very important one!

IMO the reviewers (and editorial boards) really have the means, opportunity and responsibility to advance practices around research data sharing.

Don't review for journals that don't have strong policies for openness and reproducibility - at least for now that will reduce your workload and make your reviews more interesting. That's an incentive!

#NFDI3questions3hours

@NFDI @nathalie_hartl

Doing the right thing.

It makes your own work more effective (future you is your best collaborator).

A culture of sharing and collaboration facilitates innovation and speeds up advances in research.

It get's you promoted quicker.

Now, pick the one that will only work after a cultural change!

@sneumann @NFDI @nathalie_hartl

I like this experience, because it is concrete and happens at a level where you yourself can introduce and sustain a cultural change, and also reap the benefits yourself.

@StephanJanosch @NFDI

Infrastructure certainly is a metaphor that can be extended upon!

In case of the electrical grid, hooking up your own solar system may even reduce load on the overall system (but increase need for control).

Maybe part of the cultural change is accepting that the "return on investment" on #RDM may not come for you, but for others, or may not come at all in some cases.

Maybe a cultural change to improve RDM and Openness is also a kind of insurance?

#NFDI3questions3hours

@nuest @NFDI

If I would compare RDM infrastructure to the e.g. electrical power grid which maybe was designed with decent margin, then I would say yes. The extra margins allowed to change. You are even allowed to hook up your own 600W home solar system to cope with change.

I am missing a better example where extra margins helped a lot.

@StephanJanosch @NFDI

Would you agree that these "extra" resources to be ahead of the curve in the cultural change on #RDM can be seen as an investment that will pay off at some point?

Another barrier therefore comes to mind: the ones setting the agenda (deciding about the money) are not the ones with the biggest pains about a lack of change. The already overloaded and engaged enthusiasts can only push so far.

A lack of commitment by leadership will stop any change.

#NFDI3questions3hours

@NFDI #NFDI3questions3hours

Missing time and thus attention or a lack of extra resources (buffer) to cope with change.

Yes buffers cost money, but allow to handle change. Otherwise folks full of operational tasks, have to take care of change as well.

@sneumann @NFDI @nathalie_hartl

I second that!

We are not individuals in a vacuum, but we need the recognition (and pressure) by peers to adopt and adapt our practices.

Therefore, a barrier to cultural change is when we don't encourage and applaud (and sometimes push) fellows, superiors, supervisors, colleagues or students (esp. ones we supervise) when they go in the right direction.

Be kind, and point out the leaders and champions.

#NFDI3questions3hours

@zaesa @NFDI @nathalie_hartl

I second the importance of thinking about data and code sharing "from the first day". Things will change over the course of a project, but that's fine; the important part is documenting the changes. It takes time at the onset to set up the proper data management procedures, but it takes much more time to attempt to add them later (and increases the chance that something has went wrong unnoticed).
